Top 5 Benefits of a Basement Remodel



Have you been using your basement as a laundry room or storage area? You could be missing out on many benefits that can improve function and comfort inside your home. If you want to get more out of your basement, consider having the space remodeled. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Madison, one of the area’s premier interior and kitchen remodelers, discusses the benefits of this improvement here.

1. You can create a safe play area for your kids. A basement remodel offers great versatility. Do you need a dedicated play area for your kids? You can remodel your basement to fit this need. Just add some built-in shelving and cabinets so you can keep the area free of toys, games and other clutter when playtime is over. If the space has sturdy cabinets, you can invest in professional cabinet refacing service to give them a makeover. Refacing is a simpler and more cost-efficient solution compared to replacing cabinets.

2. You can take Netflix binges to another level. Watch your favorite movies, TV shows and sports events in style. If you don’t have space for this on the main floor, you only need to look down for a great solution. The basement is a naturally enclosed space, making it perfect for a media room. Equip the room with surround sound, dimmable lighting, recliners and a projection screen, then hook it up with a strong online connection for streaming. Voila, you’re in a theater!

3. You can stay fit and healthy. If you can’t go to the gym, bring the gym to you. You can designate an area of your remodeled basement as a weight and exercise room. Deck one wall with full-length mirrors, add your usual equipment — free weights, treadmill or elliptical machine, plus a couple of yoga mats in a corner — and you’re good to go. You can even wire this spot for audio and television to make your workouts more enjoyable. 

4. You can use it as a lounge. There are days when you just want to spend an evening kicking back with your friends. You can use your remodeled basement as a lounge, with a few comfy chairs, some cabinets to store snacks, plus a pool table so you can play a friendly game.

5. You can comfortably accommodate visiting relatives or guests. When having guests over, this usually means adjusting to new sleeping arrangements and a line outside the bathroom every morning. But remodeling your basement into a guest suite with a full bathroom will take care of this, allowing you to give your guests comfort and privacy without giving up your own.
